Answer #1

ANSWER.

17) Calculation of volume(ml) of drug administered per dose.

       Formula

             Volume(ml) = Desired dose(D)/Dose in hand(H) * Quantity(Q).

   Here

         Desired dose(D) = 350000 U.

         Dose in hand(H) = 400000 U.

              Quantity(Q) = 5 ml.

As per above formula

     Volume(ml) of drug required = D/H * Q

                                                  = 350000 / 400000 * 5

                                                  = 0.87 * 5

                                                  = 4.4 ml.
